He's right about them. I don't get why people laugh at that.

Good ideas? He has no ideas whatsoever. His political philosophy is simple watered-down anti-globalization populism. His style is so affected and flowery it's below fedora-tier. His "followers" are the lowest of the lowest common denominator.

Ask your friends what they think of him. It's a good indicator for critical faculty and knowledge of political philosophy, not to mention fucking self-respect.

>Feminists hate him because he is unashamedly masculine and has had sex with lots of women (and makes their panties wet too)

>2deep4u thinkers hate him because he is a well-known actor/comedian and uses a lot of long words whilst having a working class accent

>Fedora tippers hate him because he goes beyond base scientism and engages with spiritual/religious themes

I actually think he makes some decent points whilst deferring to thinkers more intelligent than him, fair play to the guy.

How can you not see the glaring fallacies in his reasoning which he covers with quasi-articulate sjw tier rhetoric so he can validate himself through the public gaze.

He is not a politician. Not an economist. Not a philosopher. So ignore him.

But I must admit, making gay jokes about a guy in his audience during a political speech and then proceding to airhump him while wearing clothes like a teenager was kind of funny. He should be a comedian.

>better not be seen to endorse this man, otherwise anons on a little girl's cartoon forum might think I'm not patrician enough!

Like I said i admire his sincerity, he doesn't have much (well any) deep thought of his own, but he does well popularising and propagating other peoples. He mixes it in with some rubbish and over-earnest delivery, but the fact that he could be in LA boning Katy Perry and pulling in big bucks for another dreadful film, but instead stands on a rainy protest about social housing makes me warm to him.

Many people seem to regard political opinions as a fashion to be worn, rather than something to be used or instrumented, if you are on the left should you not be pleased that someone is introducing people to new ideas rather than scornful that he may be voicing them in a pretentious or simplified manner?
